I'm an American student traveling abroad to study Art History at Oxford University. I'm taking the long route there and back so I can stop in as many places as I can before returning home.

I'm a hiker, urban explorer, cyclist, artist and lover of all things British. I'm always on the quest for the perfect cup of tea. When I'm at home in Atlanta I work at a lovely tea bar where I tend bar and work as a graphic designer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to meet new people and immerse myself in local culture. Couchsurfing seems like a great way to dive into places I'm unfamiliar with.
